Fair Trading
Fairtrade was launched in 1994. It is a credible,
independent consumer guarantee for products that help producers in
developing countries get a better deal.

In March 2005 Carlisle became one of the first 100 places in the
United Kingdom to receive
Fairtrade status.

Cumbria County council has passed a resolution to support
Fairtrade in the county. We will be working the Cumbria Fair Trade
Network to attempt to become only the second county in the UK to
win Fairtrade status.
